It did not bring to an end the tremendous injustices that African Americans had to suffer on a day-to-day basis, and some of its activities, such as the work of the Federal Housing Administration, served to build rather than break down the walls of segregation that separated black from white in Jim Crow America. Yet as Mary McLeod Bethune once noted, the Roosevelt era represented “the first time in their history” that African Americans felt that they could communicate their grievances to their government with the “expectancy of sympathetic understanding and interpretation.” Indeed, it was during the New Deal, that the silent, invisible hand of racism was fully exposed as a national issue; as a problem that at the very least needed to be recognized; as something the county could no longer pretend did not exist.

Evaluate the extent to which various ideologies contributed to the development of European and American imperialism from the lat

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

European and American imperialism arose from the influence of ideologies that stated that industrialized nations should dominate less industrialized nations in order to obtain more resources for their industrial production.

Explanation:

The European and American imperialism that emerged during the 19th and 20th centuries was characterized by the economic domination of the less industrialized and more agrarian nations in Asia, South America and Africa, by the European nations and the USA, which were highly industrialized nations. This domain guaranteed the full exploitation of raw materials for industry and allowed less industrialized nations to become dependent on what was manufactured in the US and Europe, thus creating cultural, social, political and economic domination.

Imperialism was not peaceful, it generated a lot of poverty and problems in the countries subjected to it.
